My InterpretationI saw this more as a song about drug use than a literal fight song.

"I heard you were concerned with my life
I heard you had a lot to say"
Referring to the people trying to get him to give up drugs, "concerning" themselves with his life

"I'm gonna do it if it feels right
I'm gonna do it any way"
Pretty self explanatory

"Well I'm sayin'
Don't say I'm not all right
I'm used and confused and
I'm still puttin up a good fight
I'm still puttin' up a good"

Everyone's trying to tell him he need help, but he disagrees, and as for the fight I saw this as having a double meaning. Part of him knows what he's doing ain't good for him, but he's going to "put up a good fight" and try to control it, and also fight the people who are trying to tell him how to live his life

General Commentpeople? where are the comments?!?!? i just joined this thing today and this is 1 of the first songs i wanted to comment on. ok ok. ill admit. the 1st reason i like this song are the backing vocals. but its a great song people. my favorite from unwritten law.

General CommentThis song to me, is about an underdog in a fight thats pretty much getting his ass handed to him by his stronger opponent. He's getting hit and knocked down and everyone is telling him to just stay down but he won't quit.
